That beauty where you dived on your right hand and broke everything, well pretty much the same thing happened to our opening bowler two weeks ago, although he didnt look like having a pain factor of 0/10

I broke my nose playing rugby, a godsend because it meant i could justify giving the damn sport up :P

I broke my nose playing rugby, a godsend because it meant i could justify giving the damn sport up :P

The hand just went totally numb - shock, I suppose.
Forgot about breaking my nose twice.

Once playing football, and once whilst playing with my daughter who was 3 at the time ('get that stitched' she said as she nutted me)

Do drinking injuries count? A pal of mine spoke to me when we were in a wine bar in Bristol in about 1985. I turned round - and walked straight into the neck of a wine bottle he was offering.
Broke my eye socket.

i got my first ever half century batting with a broken thumb.
the day before the game i broke is wicketkeeping in practice. Then in the game on 40* i got hit on it and retired hurt, when i came off they told me i was on 40 so i went back out and make another 17 to finish with 57* and i declared.

Worst one i did was batting in the nets, nit my ankle with the bat and cracked something in there, i was supposed to miss 4 weeks, but i battled on bravely.

i'm glad to say i've never really had a bad injury in my life. although i think i might have done something to the muscle/bone in the side of my foot. i came down the stairs and when i put my foot onto the ground at the bottom i twisted it(dunno if this has happened to n e 1 else, but you know when sometimes ur walking and u sort of stumble and land with ur foot on the side?) well that's wat happened only this time i had all my weight on it. it hurt a fair bit. i did it about 2-3 weeks ago but i haven't got it checked or n e thing, it still hurts on occasions. i can;t be stuffed going to the doctor for sumthin so minor.

also on teh subject of broken noses, my friend has broken his 7 times. he says it doesn't hurt it just fells like as sore as when u cut urself(not a deep cut).

i guess i've been pretty lucky. considering i was in a car accident with my family when i was 3. my dad broke his ribs and nose and ended up in a wheelchair(he's out now). my mum passed out and broke sumthin. my sister had glass in her face and her colalr bone snapped and came out of her skin(yeah it actually came out of her skin:O). i remember the whole thing. but i was left with an oval shaped cut about the size of a toffee on the top of my wrist. so i guess i'm pretty lucky with injuries. also i seem to land well. the number of times i've been slamemd down in rugby are unbelievable. and every1 is like OMG is he dead has he broken sumthin. and i normally get up and start playign again.

Originally posted by broncoman I was playing a flick off my legs, but instead of hitting the ball i hit my ankle. it really did hurt.

I did that once, the bowler was a slow trundler, I was trying to heave the ball out of the ground, put my front leg forward, bat came down heavily and crashed on my left ankle....... my whole leg went numb for half a minute before it hurt me so badly i had to leave practice.

In only my third ever outing with the bat I got a hip-high full toss from a very fast bowler which hit my hand and really really hurt.

A year ago I dislocated the joint at the base of my right little finger, 'till this day it really hurts when I take a catch.

Just a week ago whilst practising for the U-19 national trials, I badly twisted my left knee and had to miss the trials because I couldn't run, jog, or bend the knee at all, it really was annoying.

Years ago when I used to my "Bradman" training, I banged my knee several times playing the flick shot.

Sreesanth said, "Next ball he was beaten and I said, 'is this the King Charles Lara? Who is this impostor, moving around nervously? I should have kept my mouth shut for the next ball - mind you, it was a length ball - Lara just pulled it over the church beyond the boundary! He is a true legend."

Ah, cricket comedy at its finest.
It happens in tenpin quite a lot. Many novices bowl 'off the wrong foot' and give their ankle a resounding whack. Funny when it's an 8lb ball.
Hysterically funny when it's a 15lb ball.
